This may be more of a Sling/Windows question than a TiVo question, but I'm hoping someone else here may have done what I'm trying to do, or something similar.
I am setting up my laptop with the new Slingbox desktop application which controls a Slingbox M1 with a TiVo Mini connected to it. I have the app working as intended.
When I am watching through the Slingplayer app, I would like to control the TiVo with a real TiVo remote. So far, I have almost everything working. I have a TiVo bluetooth remote configured to press the correct keys that the Sling app expects for most of the buttons. I used a freeware app called "LM Remote Keymap" which lets me intercept the button presses from the bluetooth remote and send the key that the Sling app expects.
The problem is that there doesn't appear to be a keyboard equivalent for the "TiVo" button on the remote, or for a couple other buttons. Most buttons are a simple letter equivalent: P for Play, R for Rewind, L for Live TV, etc.
Does anyone know how to change the expected keyboard key in the Sling program? Is there a remote control keyboard map file somewhere, or some other way to modify it? Or does someone know what key the sling app wants for the TiVo button or the thumbs buttons?
Other than a few buttons not working, this setup has been great so far. I can connect my laptop to an HDTV in the hotel room, place the sling app in fullscreen mode, and use an actual TiVo remote to control it as if I were sitting at home. (It has to be in fullscreen mode for the remote to work; I think this is a bug in the Sling software.)
Thanks in advance for any advice.
